One of the biggest reasons the Windsor AKO Fratmen were so good on defence in 2019 was the play of their linebackers anchored by Blake Ouellette.

He was seemingly all over the field leading the Fratmen with 78.5 defensive points.  He collected 23 tackles, five assisted stops, 6.5 sacks, two knockdowns, forced and recovered a fumble.

Prior to a massive game with the Hamilton Hurricanes this past season Blake talked with Ryan Watters of the CJFL Under the Helmet.
